I’ve always been the type of person that when someone says I can’t do something. I nod and say you’re-right and follow the rules. Sarah the Rule-Follower. Sarah the Afraid. Sarah the Worried. When someone tells me that something is too far past my reach I agree. Sure it is, I say. Those words mean [...]

Both the Q conference and Catalyst West are in my back yard this week. Both conferences are ones I would love to attend. And both are filled with attendees and speakers that are my friends, my heroes and people from which I would be able to glean wisdom and inspiration. And let’s face it, all [...]

I submitted a blog post about a year ago to a website that I love reading. I was a friend of the editor and she’d asked me to write something. “Absolutely.” I told her. “I’d be honored to contribute.” I wrote what I thought was a really great article. I spent much longer on it [...]
For the days when there is nothing to say except, “Make sure you stir the brownie batter just the right amount,” For the days when your wisdom has flown and all that you really want to do is curl up with your Instagram feed, For the days when you can’t type one more word for [...]
This isn’t my normal post, but since a few of you have asked, this is my go-to playlist for writing. It’s kind of my one-size-fits-all music for writing. It’s inspiring, happy but not too upbeat and altogether just a peek into my peaceful place. These are listed in the order that are actually in my [...]
